I just bought a new 2009 EX V6 Accord two months ago. I noticed that when the gas tank is full, I can hear the fuel sloshing around when I'm driving at very slow speeds, i.e. in driveways. I can also feel the momentum of the fuel moving back and forth in the tank. This disappears once some fuel is used. I asked my Dad, and he hypothesized that perhaps the baffles in the tank don't fully extend to the top. Has anyone had similar experiences or heard of any such issues with 2009 Accords?

Interesting. This was a big issue with the 06 Sonata (friend had one). Hyundai changed some tanks, but mostly told owners to deal with it. His would make sloshing noises from full to a little over 3/4 tank.

It's kind of mysterious, I've been driving a 2004 Civic for years now and never heard or felt anything remotely close, perhaps its because of the larger fuel tank capacity? I know I read that a lot of people had this issue with the Honda Fit, so I wanted to see if anyone else had noticed this or heard that the new Accords had some problems with the baffles on the tank. Thanks for all your replies.
